Funny how you didn't comeback on here after the 1st innings when Bairstow looked like Englands best batsman before being unluckily given out to an umpires call LBW to a ball which was just shaving the top of the bails.
You can easily criticise everyone of Englands batsmen at some point in this series but to single out Bairstow in my opinion is just not fair, given that he was sent home after a successful trip to Sri Lanka and then brought back for last 2 tests. Not the best preparation for test cricket and one the selectors will probably admit they got badly wrong, again only my opinion of course.
